SOUTH CAROLINA TAXES.
A Bill to Abolish Them on Real and
Personal Property.


CHARLESTON, Nov 2z.--A bill will be in
troduced in the Legislature tomorrow to
abolish all taxes on real and personal
property. The proposition is for the State
to repeal all privileges to dredge phosphate
rocks in navigable waters for which miners
now pay royalty of 81 per ton
and to undertake the work of
mining of phosphates and manufacture
of fertilizers through a commission ap-
pointed for the purpose. The expenses Of
the State government amount to about
81, 200, 900 annually, which amount is raised
by taxation. The phosphate royalty yields
about 100000 The promoters of the move
ment claim that more than 81 ,000, 900 can
be raised by the State taking charge Of the

HOW THE NATIONS ARE GETTING
READY FOR SEA FIGHTING.

The Chicago, Now Fitting Out at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard - The English
"BeIted" OrIando-The-s Latest Addi-
ton to tho Navy OF the French.
The nations Of the earth are vying with
each other in the construction of fighting
boats. They recognize the fact that the
country possessing the best navy will have a
great advantage over her opponents in any
future wars and most elaborate preparations
are making in all quarters Of the globe for
sea fighting. The United States is not much
of naval power now, but something is being
done to improve matters in that regard.
1t is believed that the Chicago, the fourth
and last of the steel cruisers furnished the
government under the contract with John
Roach, will fully meet her requirements as
to speed. Sixteen knots an hour in smooth
water, or fifteen knots at sea, is called for
The vessel made thirteen knots with ease on
the run from Chester to the Brooklyn yard
The Chicago is the most expensive Of the feet
so far. Her hull and machinery cost $3.50 600,
while the Boston and the Atlanta each cost
but S6lS, 900, and the Dolphin 1915, 600 The
Chicago engines differ materially from those
of the other boats. She has a twin screw
and two independent compound engines Of
$500 horse power each. Her water line
measurement is 1926 feet; beam, 48 feet; mean
draught, 10 feet, and displacement, $500

There have been some June weddings
in this city, in church, the contracting par
ties being in fashionable life. On such &C.
casions the guests generally wear very fine
feathers. One gown worn by well known
belle was of white Grape, made in the Eliza
bethan style of loops and high standing col
lar, leg of mutton sleeves, and dreadfully ro-
tund skirts. Small bonnet to match the
gown completed the "outfit."
By the way, there is change in the even
ing wear Of "the gentlemen, heaven bless
them" The opening in the full dress waist
coat is changing from the wide horse shoe to
the old v, but the new style curves the sides
of the V a little. This change is for the pur-
pose Of regularly "laying out" the ready
made clothing men.
Some ladies are trying hard to popularize
the Galatea or Grecian style of hair dressing
This is loose, rather longish knot midway
between the top Of the head and the neck.
With it the hair is brushed of the temples
and forehead, leaving only few stray wisps
falling on the brow. To some faces it is ex-
tremely becoming; but beware of it if you
have not classic features and carry not your
head exactly at the proper poise.
Mitts are in now. They are quite the cor
rect thing for all but very dressy occasions.
They have many advantages over gloves.
They show pretty fingers, give you the use of
your fingers, look and are cooler and last
longer than gloves with fingers.
Don't wear your gloves over the sleeves on
the street or anywhere else, but under them.
You will read that sea bathing is not fash
ionable. Oh, to be sure, not at places like
Newport, where "sassiety" is nothing if not in
the paint and feathers of conquest, but people
nice people, too-always will battle when
they 60 to the seashore, because it is pleasant
and healthful; consequently, they want bath
ing dresses. Well, they are made as hereto
fore, a blouse or loose, sleeveless covering for
the waist, and trousers that reach to the
knee, and long stockings with cork soes.
Skirts are still adhered to, though they grow
shorter year by year at every resort save
Ocean Grove.

While I think Of it, there is a tendency to
dispense with buttons on many street gowns,
and go back to hooks and eyes. This is be
cause the loose fronts put on so many waists
make buttons superduous. This Is to the
dressmaker's gain. Making button holes is
an item in the time necessary to construct a
gown. NAOMI TRENT.

It is curious to notice how many studies
the streets of great city lend themselves to
if one only faithfully pursues them. re-
member reading statistics taken many years
ago which gave the proportion of bearded to
beardless men you would meet out Of given
hundred in walking on Broadway At that
time the full beard was not so common as it
is now, and the mustache was still some
what novel and labored feature, which seemed
as strange and repugnant to most people as
that other orientalism-the turban--w would, if
its introduction were attempted now. In
those days, which think were contemporary
with the time of Napoleon the Thirds attach
ment to the hirsute upper lip, there were vari-
GUS partial boards, and there were a great
many smooth faces. Now perfectly smooth
face Is but rarely seen on any grown man to
whom nature permits beard, if we except

for they charge as much for a square inch or
two of shaving as they would for moving

On Broadway the cigar smoking habit was
once estimated, and it was found that this
city long ago consumed SO 900 worth Of to-
bacco, in the form Of cigars alone, daily If
proper allowance is made for the increase of
population since that estimate was made, no
doubt twice that sum would be found invest

rather more accuracy, however, have lately

the most universal hat now worn. don't
think it deserves the distinction, but it has
attained it, nevertheless, and it is not as it
was at first, the style for boys and young
men simply, as the middle aged and old wear
it, too. Even some young ladies affect it.
But counting out the young ladies who as
sumo it-who are usually those very young
or those who wish to be thought SOL find
by actual count that eighty-six persons out
OF hundred men and boys wear the Derby
hat This count omits, as it should, all esti-

put on straw hats, for the comparison, of
course, should be limited to a headgear that
Is worn the year around. Probably seven
tenths OF those who wear straw hats for a

little round hard hat is largely in the ma jority,
without rhyme or reason, as it seems to me.
and it would be interesting to know why.
Certainly it is not the beauty of the hat
nor its softness and comfort The absolute
individual identity of its tribe or family is
the cause OF much Inconvenience If you Law

where other hats are you are pretty likely,
without extreme caution, to pick up better
